Lionheart FunD Run | October 16th, 2026

Lionheart Academy proudly serves students in grades 4–12 with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Our mission is to empower diploma-seeking students with autism to grow into independent, capable adults through evidence-based educational strategies.

The FunD Run is a beloved tradition at Lionheart and plays a vital role in supporting our students beyond the classroom. Funds raised contribute to Lionheart's Annual Fund, which helps provide enriching community outings, school events, teacher appreciation gifts, educational services, consultations, and scholarships throughout the year—experiences that make a meaningful difference in our students' lives.

Field trips and school events allow students to practice social and independent living skills in real-world settings such as restaurants, retail stores, and team-building locations. The fundraiser also supports free family fun nights on campus and monthly events that strengthen connections among students, families, and the broader Lionheart community.

To celebrate our collective efforts, students and staff will come together for a day of fun featuring a run/walk, games, awards, snacks, and more! The FunD Run is not just a fundraiser—it's a celebration of community, progress, and student achievement.
